Efficiency calculated by Swinburne’s test is _____________(a) Exactly equal(b) Over-estimated(c) Under-estimated(d) Depends on the manual errorsI had been asked this question in an online interview.This intriguing question originated from Swinburne’s Test topic in portion Efficiency and Testing of DC Machines

Answer»

Right option is (b) Over-estimated

To elaborate: The stray-load loss cannot be determined by this test and hence EFFICIENCY is over-estimated. Correction can be applied after assuming the stray-load loss to be half the no-load loss, which is done generally. Also, TEMPERATURE MAY effect on RESISTANCE value which is not considered in this test.
